About a week ago, I dropped “For Her” (b/k/a “Se Roquel 2”) and the response was a bit “eh it’s aight.” Maybe I shouldn’t have dropped it around the same time as KOD. Maybe I should’ve thought a bit more about taking creative liberties with my girl’s name and whatnot. Heck, to return from a […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @StealfSoulja Write a Memorandum For D.C.’s Issues in New Track
When your song interpolates a Nas bar, you’ve got some big shoes to fill. Thankfully, for me and for the artist himself, D.C.’s Stealf Soulja does so and does so well. A song that’s designed to “save the city from itself,” Stealf speaks on the dangers that are infecting his city and aims to heal […]

The second PHZ-Sicks Day drop–the first being “Riot in My Memory”–features him just dropping bars for the sake of dropping bars to let people know he can rap (and rap well). It’s a different side of PHZ-Sicks if you just heard “Riot […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @BrainRapp Says This All Too Shall Pass in New Visuals
Brain Rapp’s been on a roll. That’s really all I can say about the DMV (both in residence and affiliation) artist. “This All Too Shall Pass” feels very much like his “1-800-273-8255” and I’m definitely here for it. Both videos (and songs) talk on touchy issues (depression, suicide, hopelessness, and all those sorts of things), […]
